States are this weekend and I didn't post the judge's comments. Do we have things to work on? We most definitely do. We have a busy week of practice ahead of us starting tonight. With that said...

The judge's comments are irrelevant at this point. No matter what USBands says, you cannot compare scores from competition to competition. Despite the fact that they insist that their system works and that they use it for seeding of groups at States, I have seen too many times when it can't possibly be working as it was intended. Case in point, a group went out on Saturday and scored an 80 then went to Jackson on Sunday and scored an 88. Did they have a miracle practice and improve 8 points in 24 hours? Not likely. Where the scores at Jackson inflated? The scores at their previous show unusually low? Who knows.

The only thing that matters now is what we do. How hard we work in practice this week. How much better we can make ourselves. How well we can perform on Saturday. The chips will fall where they will. We just need to make sure that we have done everything that we can to put our best performance out on the field.
